Daisy 880 Reviews

Very accurate (I use open sights only, no scope). Easy pumping. Quiet. Trigger pull is excellent. Bolt is easy to cycle. Quality item.
Nothing!
I purchased a Crosman Legacy 1000 this spring and have enjoyed shooting it so far, but this 880 is superior in many ways: 1) My 880 is more accurate than my Legacy 1000 with open sights (I shoot lead pellets only). 2) Trigger pull on the 880 is vastly superior - not long and creepy at all. 3) Front sights are fiber optic on both rifles, but the Daisy's are smaller, which allows for more precision. 4) The bolt on the 880 is MUCH easier to cycle. 5) Pumping the 880 requires much less effort. 6) Pumping the 880 is a quiet process, whereas the Legacy 1000 creates a loud slapping sound with every pump. 7) The 880 is more quiet when it fires. I bet the neighbors don't know I'm outside shooting at all - except for the "ping" of the steel silhouettes! The Legacy 1000 is indeed more powerful, but in my case that is not a real advantage since I use my rifles for target shooting/plinking only. Each rifle only needs 3 pumps max to accurately knock down steel silhouettes at 10 meters

Everything but the powerplant. I real barrel would be nice!
This is a scary-powerful plastic kids air rifle.
It's not accurate. It shoots BBs and pellets much harder than an old 760 Pumpmaster but is a toy by comparison. A very very powerful toy!
If it shot straight, I'd love it! (despite the cheap BB gun barrel wrapped in black painted "tin" and the toy-gun plastic stock and forearm.)
I've tried 4 or 5 different pellets and they all fly anywhere but where you point them.
I can mostly hit a spray paint can at 50 feet but trying to punch paper is frustrating!
I would have liked to use it for some barn swallows. It's got the power, but it's just not accurate enough.

Okay, I REALLY like this one! I have a bunch of Daisy air guns including a late '40s Red Ryder. Back in the early '70s when I was about 10 years old, I really wanted an 880. I never got one due to that whole "You'll shoot your eye out, kid" thing. Fair enough. As an adult, I have more than made up for lost time by buying all sorts of air guns except the 880 which slipped under the radar for some reason. I had forgotten how nice this thing shoots. Sure, there's more plastic than the '70s vintage ones my friends had back in the day, but you know what? It shoots just as well, if not better! I was originally put off by the fact that you need to pull back the bolt before pumping it up, but that took about 5 minutes to get used to and now I actually prefer it. Shoots straight. Hasn't malfunctioned once after more than a few hundred BBs fired. Highly recommended!
Nothing.
I shoot only Daisy Match Grade steel BBs through mine. Why? Because they're easier to load than pellets, they require less cleaning, and they are surprisingly accurate. Also, I use SAE 20 weight non-detergent motor oil for the piston lube, which is sort of a Daisy thing.
Love Daisy! Period !
Lower prices . Wider selection. Idk shipping was pretty fast . So not much .
Youll get hooked talking to the computer if you live airguns .
The price and suburb accuracy using pellets. Great for Rat culling!
Wish the receiver was still made out of metal like the original 880!
Use lead pellets for best accuracy and I would recommend a Red Dot Or Reflex Sight be used Instead of relying on open sights!
The fiber optic sites Nice for pest control is very accurate
If it was made of more metal and wood
Is a very good gun and is worth your money
Excellent rifle ! I'd prefer a wood option...but those days are over. It is VERY accurate, I clean mine, and only use pellets in it, it's Fast (FPS), pellets hit quick, Mine LOVES RWS Hobby Flats-Wadcutters. Instant results on Red Squirrels for me, I only take Head shots, so, yes ,I miss, but not often! I do 10 pumps, clean/oil regularly. The sights needed very minimal adjustment and It's been dead on for 3 yrs now. I don't find it loud, it's got a satisfying pop when fired. It's much more consistent in power/accuracy than my CR 766...It's really my go-to rifle when the critters are being naughty. I have other rifles, but with HPA and CO2, sometimes this is the speedy option. I bought another for Camp and the kids take it out all day, give 'em a handful of pellets, and teach 'em to conserve ammo, and take good shots. My girl even likes it, and she's not really a 'gun' person, but she loves to shoot cans and ice cubes! Great gun, I was always a Crosman lover...but the 880 is a winner!
Maybe offer it in a wood stock/forearm option, with improved sights, Charge us for it, We'll love it and it'll sell out !
Mine did not like the Gold 'Raptor Pellets'...not sure why, too light maybe, but they were always consistently shooting high, the wind seemed to have an effect as well on them. It's fine though, and I found that Flat nose pellets did best. I didn't try some of the 'slug type' pellets out there yet, but I'd guess they'd be great, more rifling contact due to long-skirt/body. Enjoy this rifle, it's great and has lasted and been great!
Awesome
Powerful for price awesome!
Easy to pump. Sights work perfectly. Me and my son love using the 880 for plinking. We just use the Crosman 7.9gr hollowpoints as their cost friendly and accurate. We only shoot at a max 20 yards since this is a pump airgun and easily hit small cans, etc. This airgun definitely has more than enough energy to take pests like rats, squirrels and rabbits if need be.

Easy transaction. Good price. Fast shipping. Good quality. PyramydAir has earned my customer loyalty.
I strongly recommend getting on their mailing list.
For a fifty-dollar gun it is surprisingly well made. It handles well and points quickly. The gun has great accuracy with any pellet I tried. I put a red dot scope on it, and it will outshoot the Umarex Fusion 2 I bought by a huge margin. Even with 6 pumps the gun shoots hard. I also bought a Buck Rail suppressor for it and made it even more quiet than it already was.
The pellets will fall into the bb feed hole. Maybe if they designed it as an only pellet or even if they could put a pellet magazine like the older Crosman 760 had. I think they should offer a limited run of real wood stocks as well.
If you shoot pellets then push the bolt forward about 1/8 of an inch and it well help prevent pellets from falling into the BB feed tube. Overall this is a great gun.
